SOLVING PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED PROBLEMS IN A PHYSICS COURSE

Abstract

One of the challenges facing modern polytechnic education is the need to align the content of educational programs with the development of modern technologies. A solution to the problem could be the inclusion of complex, professionally oriented tasks in the physics course, the content of which would be aligned with the training focus of future specialists. The article proposes tasks that include assessing the performance of engines, taking into account instantaneous pressure surges at the beginning and end of propellant combustion, i.e. the ambiguity of combustion processes in the engine chamber. The tasks considered in the article are comprehensive in nature, including consideration and analysis of failure causes, variations in internal pressure to assess the properties of engine structural materials, and an assessment of the probability of structural failure. As a strength assessment, the article examines the probability of engine failure due to strength loss under the influence of internal pressure during an abnormal thermodynamic process. Solving complex, professionally oriented tasks in the physics course is aimed at developing a wide range of professional competencies in future specialists.
